Cerek, I've heard of the skin condition, and reports say its a legitimate disease and claim on his part. They also say wearing one glove was initially a way of hiding the condition on his hand.

It's called "vitiligo", a condition in which patches of the skin whiten. It's clearly more visible in people of color, but any race can contract the condition, which I think may be autoimmune (the body attacking itself).

However, Mr. Jackson's problems go much deeper than a case of vitiligo, though. A truly tormented individual...growing up in a house of child abuse, then rocketed to stardom at such a young age.

Saz, I have a patient of Lebanese ancestry, who has vitiligo. Her skin color is patchy, like a paint horse, I have yet to see a picture of him with the patchy coloration that makes this disease. He may have tried to bleach his remaining dark places so that he would be more uniform. But, all that has nothing to do with "the nose." That is botched plastic surgery.

You all say wasted talent.......he is still the most succesful artist of all time, with the biggest selling album of all time I beleive....also, with the biggest record deal. How is this a waste? He beat everyone else. He was a God, and just because of what he has done, doesn't mean he should be branded a failure, or a nasty person. You're all being too harsh.

If you were coloured, and had this skin condition, would you want to be coloured with light patches? No, so the only corrective treatment was an unpredicatble bleaching of the skin.

And millions worldwide have plastic surgery, why dnt you pick on them? Ok, he isn't the prettiest picture, but he still stands up for what he believes in, and although he may be physically ill, he may be mentally fine. None of us know.

What's on his nose? Is it hair (kinda looks like that scrub brush he's got on his chin)? Or just is it decomposing? Ack!

They transplanted black skin off of his ass to the nose area and now he has a
brown crusty nose, did anybody see his Holloween video? He is starting to look
like the Skeleton from that. Maybe he's turning into a Doppleganger that can Dance real good! But if I had all his money I wouldn't care if my face was all crusty and scary!
